Yeah, it's possible but it doesn't look like the thread titles will remain on that page much longer to begin with because that page is getting really long, especially as we continue to add forums. Pretty soon it will probably revert back to showing just the forum names and descriptions in an...

If you go to the chat front page at http://www.elitetrader.com/ch/index.cfm , there is now a link to view today's log, and it has timestamps too :)

This is already supported. You can monitor all your favorite threads by subscribing to them (see bottom left of this page for the subscribe link). You can then view all of your subscribed threads under the section in the black bar at the top right called "your account".

If you are looking for all the posts a certain user has made, you must enter their username in the search box on the right hand side and not the keyword search on the left. If you enter a username in the keyword search box on the left, it will only search the body of messages for occurences...

In terms of traffic, we are doing about two million page views per month and it continues to grow. Here's the YTD traffic chart which goes through the end of Q3: According to Alexa, a site that measures web site traffic across the net, we recently surpassed many popular trading sites...

In my opinion, cookies are pervasive and a very minimal threat. Here are some typical examples of why a web surfer gets so many cookies: Many sites have "web analytics" software installed that sets cookies on your machine so that the web server can track your movements in a general sense...

A classifieds forum has now been set up for posting ads to buy, sell, or trade various trading-related resources such as books, CDs, videos, Series 7 materials, etc. If you have anything you would like to list, you can do so here...

A classifieds forum has now been set up. Please post all of your ads to buy, sell, or trade in that location from now on. You can start a new listing here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/newthread.php?s=&action=newthread&forumid=36 Thanks for the suggestion. I should have done this a long...

Avatars will not be a feature of this board. They junk everything up, increase page download times, and make things look unprofessional IMO. Thanks for the suggestion though.

There were some complaints that the thread was getting off topic and that some of the more recent posts were inappropriate. After reviewing those posts myself, I agreed so some posts were removed and the thread was closed.

The messages were nothing but repetitive solicitations by an unauthorized advertiser so they were deleted by me.

Yeah, or you can click on the word "kill" at the lower righthand corner of one of their posts, and use the resulting page to recommend that the user be removed.

If you want to quote a post, all you have to do is click on the word "Quote" at the bottom righthand side of the post you want to quote.

We've been doing this for the last five years as well. I have users being recommended for deletion by various moderators all the time. Practically all of them get removed. The problem is not identifying and removing abusive/annoying users, it's making sure that a user who gets the boot can't...

That's what we've been doing for the last 5 years non-stop.

Because based on past experience, about 98% of the truly annoying and disruptive users in the past avoid accountability and cause havoc by registering multiple aliases, each under a unique, free, email account.

Email addresses from yahoo and hotmail are no longer allowed for new members. Users who currently have a yahoo or hotmail account on file will be allowed to keep them for now but that will probably change at some point in the future, as I would like for the system to eventually be purged of...

If you are able to log in from your father's machine, but not your own, your browser's security settings are probably too high, because it's not accepting the "cookies" our server is sending. Cookies are essential for allowing us to know whether you are logged in or not. If you use Internet...

To do things like what?
